The festival pays tribute to Nazareth’s German culture. Nazareth was established in the early 20th century by a Catholic priest, Joseph Reisdorf. Ever since, the town’s Holy Family Catholic Church has played a big role in the community.

The first German Festival came in 1972. Since then, the event’s activity lineup has gradually expanded.

Proceeds benefit local organizations.

Nazareth is located just over an hour north of Lubbock, between Tulia and Dimmitt.

Coming to Amarillo, Williams will perform here on July 29 at Midnight Rodeo, 4400 S. Georgia St.
